What to do the words 'fire' and 'clay' conjure up in your mind? Some might think of an artist at work sculpturing a new piece of pottery. Others might wonder if a city of old was burning down. Still, some might even realize this refers to the manufacturing of a fireclay kitchen sink.

For those not in the know, let's describe what is a fireclay sink and where it is used. Fireclay refers to the material used to make the sink. It is really a collection of natural materials that include various clays from the earth and other materials. The materials are assembled in a heating device, such as a kiln, and are fired so hot that a ceramic glaze results which fuses the material elements together to harden as a solid resin with great resiliency that resists chips, scratches, denting and general wear.

Fireclay kitchen sinks are offered in a variety of designs and sizes. They are non-porous and the fact that many of us in our home kitchen can be prone to dropping a pot or pan in the sink or spilling something, they make an excellent choice of material when replacing or installation of a new kitchen sink is necessary.

There are single, double even triple fireclay kitchen sinks available, each of course fitted with a drain. They have become more popular and many manufacturers have taken to incorporating this type of sink in their line of products with accent dcor colors and styles.

While sinks of this type are resistant to wear and are non-porous, they are not wholly impervious to abuse. The sink can be protected with the use of a fitted wire grid that will further guard against unexpected blunt contact between the fireclay kitchen sink and an object.

While available in an array of colors, the basic fireclay kitchen sink is white. Shapes vary from the square to the rectangular. They can include a hand-painted finish or appear sculpted for more of an art dcor effect. Colors can also include varying tones to complement the prevailing color tones in and around your kitchen.

The fireclay kitchen sink is a wonderful choice when a replacement sink is needed since you get high quality coupled with a fair price. Shop for such sinks at local bath supply stores and compare prices found with manufacturers and merchants online as the styles do change over time creating closeout sales of existing styles that are being discontinued. If you absolutely must have the latest style, look for an introductory discounted price versus paying full retail.
